In her first public remarks since the death of her husband, Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and a devout Christian, Erika Kirk shared that each week he asked her, “How can I be a better husband to you today?” Good News Wants to Know... Is there a phrase or saying you’ve adopted that inspires you to be your best each day—or something you repeat to yourself during challenging moments that helps you press on? Give me Your eyes to see. Char Talmadge, Executive Director, Rescue Upstream As we live and travel on this terrestrial ball that is tied to tribulation, I turn to the Lord by reminding myself to love the Lord over myself and Listen and Lock into the Leadership of the Holy Spirit. Bernard King Sr., Pastor, Cornerstone Bible Fellowship The Christian song “I Am Not Alone” by Kari Jobe is a great encouragement to me. “I am not alone; I am not alone. You will go before me; You will never leave me… In the midst of deep sorrow, your light is breaking through… Through these trials you have always been faithful; you bring healing to my soul…” William “Bill” C. Davell, Director, Tripp Scott Hundreds of times a day I tell myself: “Be cool.” It hardly ever works. Bob Denison, President, Denison Yachting I don’t have a specific phrase, but I have a common thought each day. Having lost my father just before my first birthday, I live every day in a way that I hope model’s his amazing character and integrity. I live each day to the level that he would have expected, and I believe that is the same way that Our Creator would expect me to live each day. Of course, I fall short many days, but I get back up and keep trying my absolute best. Chip LaMarca, State Representative, Florida House District 100 My life verse is…. "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). I always try to ask myself, “How can I glorify God in this?” Chris Lane, President, First Priority of South Florida What comes to mind for me is Romans 8: 31-32 which says, "If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" A second thing I remember is that God has never let me down yet, but he's sure scared me to death a few times. H. Collins Forman, Jr., Esquire The one phrase I’ve adopted that inspires me to be my best each day is, “How can I add the most value to the person in front of me right now?” The question takes the focus off of me by reminding me that I’m here to serve others. Craig D. Huston, Summit Achievers As I occasionally encounter tense business or personal situations, and pride rises up, I remind myself, "Go lower still." Consider others first. Be like Jesus. Wash their feet. It immediately diffuses the atmosphere. Deborah Cusick, FAU Volunteer, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship On a regular basis, I pray over my kids and wife this ending of every morning prayer… “Lord, help us to bring fame to your name and a good reputation to our family too.” Dennis DeMarois, Executive Director/CEO, Gathering Palm Beach County During daily prayer, I do ask the Lord to increase my faith, and to show me how He wants to use me that day, whether I am facing a particular work project or how I can be a better help to my husband and family, or even just to give me an opportunity to comfort someone, serve someone, or give the gospel to someone that day. I heard my mother, and her parents pray like that when I was a child, and their examples have stayed with me. Dolores King St. George, King Communications and GraceNet Radio In challenging moments, I like the phrase: “reasonable people do reasonable things.” So often we try to convince or explain something to an unreasonable person. Do not waste your time or enable the negativity to ruin your day, move on. Don Campion, President, Banyan Air Service, and Team Lead, Egbe Medical Mission I think of the words of the Apostle Paul, "Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ" (Philippians 1:27). The reality is, we never know what a day will bring, or what it will bring out of us -- but we know Jesus. And His Spirit in us can help us to respond to the worst the world has to offer in the way that He would. Doug Sauder, Pastor, Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale I call them “breath prayers.” Every time something pops in my head that may have happened moments ago or years ago, I find myself saying “I love you, Father.” It is my way of thanking God for forgiving me for my sin! Dr. Fred Scarbrough, Founder, Scarbrough Animal Hospital and HOPE South Florida Help me Jesus. Gregg Wallick, Wallick Family Office Bernard King William “Bill” C.
